Zhang Yuan found a seat by the window, put his books down, placed the steamed buns and hot water aside, and then sat down.
Then, he took a chewing gum box out of his pocket, poured out the "photographic memory pill," put it in his mouth, swallowed it, and took a sip of water!
Unforgettable Pill: After taking it, your memory will be greatly enhanced. During the period of its effect, you will be able to remember everything you see. The effect lasts for 7 days!
Zhang Yuan had planned it all out: he would go through all the textbooks for all the exam subjects in the four days before the exam, and then take the exams in the last three days.
He needs to cram in at the last minute, make a spectacular turnaround, and then shed the label of "academic underachiever."
After taking the photographic memory pill, Zhang Yuan opened his eyes after about ten breaths, and his mind became incredibly clear.
He picked up the first book on the pile, modern literature, and began to read it page by page.
He flipped through the book very quickly; with each page he turned, his eyes, like a scanning machine, memorized the information on the page.
...
As time went by, more and more students came to the library to read books.
Everyone who passed by Zhang Yuan's study desks on the first floor was drawn to the nearly meter-high stack of books in front of him, the speed at which he turned the pages, and his earnest expression as he reviewed his work.
At 8:45, Chu Mengyao and Chen Tingting arrived at the library with their books.
With final exams approaching, seats in the school library are in high demand, and students who arrive after 9 a.m. will find it difficult to find an empty seat.
Chu Mengyao and Chen Tingting also came to the first floor of the library and sat down in a row of seats by the window with grass growing outside.
"Hey, look at that classmate, his desk is piled high with books!"
Chu Mengyao followed Chen Tingting's gaze.
'Holy crap! It looks like Zhang Yuan!!'
While Chu Mengyao and Chen Tingting were talking, Zhang Yuan had already finished flipping through one professional book and was now flipping through the second one.
'No way, Zhang Yuan isn't the least studious boy in the class, why would he be reading in the library?'
I don't think so.
Chu Mengyao said, then looked again.
It really is Zhang Yuan!
It must be because final exams are coming up soon, and they're cramming at the last minute!
Chen Tingting smiled.
"He hasn't paid attention in class all semester, so trying to cram in these last few days is unrealistic!"
'yes. '
"How can he turn the pages so fast!"
"Never mind all that, let's hurry up and review, the exam is coming up soon."
"Um!"
Chu Mengyao and Chen Tingting, sitting two rows away from Zhang Yuan, also took out their modern literature textbooks and began to seriously review them.
Time passed second by second.
Before we knew it, it was noon.
Many students began to leave the library and go to the cafeteria for meals.
After studying continuously for a whole morning, Chen Tingting felt dizzy and couldn't continue. She sat up straight, stretched, and saw Zhang Yuan still intently flipping through his book.
"He's so focused, isn't he tired?"
Chu Mengyao also stopped reading, twisted her neck, and said, "Tingting, let's go eat, I'm hungry!"
"Let's go, I don't want to watch anymore. Let's come back this afternoon after we finish eating!"
"Um."
The soft footsteps stopped beside Zhang Yuan.
Hey handsome Zhang, wanna eat at the cafeteria?
Chen Tingting tapped her fingers lightly on the table, smiling as she looked at Zhang Yuan's profile as he intently read his book.
Zhang Yuan looked up and saw Chen Tingting and Chu Mengyao standing beside him at some point.
Chen Tingting smiled at him casually. Chu Mengyao had a little physical contact with Zhang Yuan when they squeezed into Zeng Jingxue's car together last time, and now she blushes every time she sees Zhang Yuan.
Zhang Yuan shook his head.
"No, no!"
"You all go ahead, I still have so many books to read!"
He also glanced at the seven or eight bulging white steamed buns in the bag next to him.
Chen Tingting sighed, thinking to herself, "This guy sleeps in class all day and doesn't study, but he only tries his best in the last few days before the exam. What's the use of that?"
Never mind, I can't dampen the students' enthusiasm.
Chen Tingting said: Okay, then you should study hard. Mengyao, let's go!
Goodbye, Zhang Yuan.
Chu Mengyao's cheeks flushed slightly, and her voice was barely audible. It seemed as if she had mustered a tremendous amount of courage to utter those words.
Zhang Yuan gave a casual "hmm" and continued reading his book.
Chu Mengyao followed behind Chen Tingting, took a few steps, then turned back with a blush, glanced at Zhang Yuan, and then caught up with Chen Tingting in front.
Zhang Yuan stayed until 10 p.m., when the library was about to close, before leaving the library building.
Zhang Yuan's cultivation had reached the Meridian Opening Realm, and his physical condition was excellent. With the added blessing of the Photographic Memory Pill, he didn't feel tired at all throughout the day.
For an ordinary person, this level of reading intensity would be unbearable. They would probably feel dizzy and have to stop and rest after reading for half a day.
By the end of the day, Zhang Yuan had already read a quarter of the books on the table, having reviewed all the textbooks for the subjects he would be taking the exam on the first day.
The next day, Zhang Yuan continued to go to the library to read books.
Because he practiced his martial arts a little longer this morning, he arrived at the library half an hour later than yesterday. The seat he sat in on the first floor of the library yesterday had already been taken.
Chu Mengyao and Chen Tingting were still in the same spots as yesterday, diligently reading their books.
Zhang Yuan had no choice but to go to the second floor to find a new spot.
Finally, in a secluded corner on the second floor of the library, Zhang Yuan found an empty seat, sat down, and continued flipping through the book.
...
...
This takes up another whole day.
Tongcheng University Library is very large, with each floor capable of accommodating hundreds of students studying simultaneously. At this moment, Zhang Yuan's classmates Xie Feng and Zhu Gan were also studying on the second floor of the library, but neither knew the other.
9 p.m.
After finishing reviewing the last page of Classical Chinese, Zhu Gan nudged Xie Feng next to him with his elbow.
"Brother Feng, want to play a game?!"
Xie Feng glanced at the bamboo pole and said quietly, "Screw you, I haven't finished reading the book yet."
"All right."
Bamboo Pole started playing the game on his own.
*
*
9:30.
Bamboo Pole finished a game, checked the time, and realized it was getting late.
"Brother Feng, should we go back?"
Xie Feng frowned, looking at the few pages of the book he hadn't finished reviewing, and said: You go back first, I'll wait for you.
"Brother Feng, you work so hard!"
"I'm sure I'll get a scholarship this semester."
Then the bamboo pole stood up and started packing its things.
"I'll be going now!"
As he spoke, he made a face at Xie Feng.
After the bamboo pole left, Xie Feng continued reading and diligently copied notes.
9:50.
The library will close in ten minutes.
In the second-floor study room, most students had already gone home, leaving only Xie Feng and a handful of others in the large study room.
Xie Feng closed the last book and put the notebook away.
He had memorized all the test points and the key points highlighted by the teachers.
"With all this hard work, I should be guaranteed to be in the top three in the final exams!"
Xie Feng thought to himself, a confident smile spreading across his face.
During the midterm exams, he ranked 4th in his class. This time, he studied even harder and more diligently than before the midterm exams, so it shouldn't be a problem for him to improve his overall score by one place.
His goal is to be in the top three of his class and win a scholarship.
While tidying up his books, Xie Feng noticed a book that Zhu Gan had left behind when he left, and shook his head: What a careless fellow.
Zhu Gan and Xie Feng are roommates. They are addicted to games and ranked 33rd in all their midterm exams. In a class of only 42 students, they are definitely at the bottom of the class.
Although he has been studying harder in the past month than he did for the midterm exam, and has also reduced his gaming time significantly, his foundation is so weak, and he only studies for 2 hours a night, so his final exam results are definitely not going to be good.
I can't let him assimilate me.
Xie Feng reminded himself of this, then took his books and went back to his dormitory.
When Xie Feng left, the study room on the second floor of the library was already empty.
At the corner of the stairs, between a row of study desks and bookshelves, Xie Feng suddenly saw a familiar figure sitting upright at a desk, head down, intently reading a textbook.
He looked very focused.
Xie Feng stopped abruptly.
"Zhang Yuan?"
Why is he at the library!
Seeing Zhang Yuan engrossed in his studies in the library, Xie Feng felt as if he had witnessed something incredible.
However, given Zhang Yuan's usual attitude towards studying, any classmate who saw this scene would probably be surprised.
Immediately, Xie Feng's lips curled into a smile. "Zhang Yuan, stop looking, the library is about to close!"
Zhang Yuan looked up and was shocked to see Xie Feng, who was holding a book, standing not far away looking at him with a look that was 3 parts disdain and 4 parts mockery.
It's quite annoying.
"With your foundation, even if you stay up all night studying until tomorrow, I think you'll pass this final exam!"
Xie Feng laughed.
His relationship with Zhang Yuan wasn't particularly good; Zhang Yuan always stole the spotlight from him when they played ball, which Xie Feng resented.
In addition, Zhang Yuan moved out of the dormitory shortly after the start of the semester, leaving the 302 group, so the relationship between the two could only be described as average.
Moreover, Zhang Yuan usually dresses sloppily, even going out in the dead of winter wearing slippers and shorts, which is hard for Xie Feng, who grew up in the city and is particular about his taste in clothing and appearance, to accept.
Therefore, Xie Feng felt no psychological pressure when mocking Zhang Yuan.
Moreover, it is a well-known fact that Zhang Yuan's academic performance is poor. In the first semester's midterm exam, Zhang Yuan ranked last in the class.
Zhang Yuan ignored Xie Feng's sarcasm and continued reading his book, the ancient literature textbook in his hand, with only the last two pages remaining.
He now only wants to use the three or four days under the effect of the photographic memory pill to finish reading all the textbooks for this semester as soon as possible.
I don't need to get a high score on the final exam, just passing is enough.
I'll get a diploma eventually to appease my parents.
Otherwise, four years later, if the parents who have worked hard to earn money find that their precious son cannot even get a graduation certificate, it will be a huge blow to them.
Zhang Yuan didn't want things to be like this.

"Time to turn off the lights!"
Those who haven't left yet, hurry up!
The librarian started urging them on.
After making his sarcastic remarks, Xie Feng picked up his books and left. He had almost finished reviewing the courses for this semester and was just waiting for the exams. Unlike some people who only cram at the last minute and frantically study in the library when the exams are about to start, he didn't need to.
Thinking about this, Xie Feng felt a sense of superiority.
Zhang Yuan finished reading the last page and closed the book.
With the blessing of the photographic memory pill, the contents of the ancient literature book flashed through Zhang Yuan's mind like images, page by page, giving him the confidence and assurance to pass the exam.
As long as the final exams don't have any really difficult questions, relying on the power of my photographic memory, passing each subject shouldn't be too hard.
Zhang Yuan pondered for a moment, then left the library before the librarian turned off the lights.
